The National Stewardship Project provides principled arguments and practical advice to policymakers on how to reform government and make it more accountable to the taxpayers. Among the advice the authors offer for reformers:

1) Identify the core governing principles and the functions of government.

2) Review and reorganize the existing functions of government.

3) Build an accountable budget for the future.

We welcome comments and recommendations for additions, and we look forward to working with reformers across the country.
